The enthusiastic celebration of Arab Spring by the American left has at last been repudiated by the gruesome realities of Islamic Jihad. But don’t expect to hear much about this sudden intrusion of brutal fact into the left’s pathetic dabblings in American foreign policy.
Politically embarrassing events such as the failure to protect American diplomats being murdered and dragged through the streets before cheering throngs rarely make for lasting headlines, especially not when a Democrat president has ignored advance warning of the threat which he more than anyone else was responsible for bringing about.
“Once the US successfully overthrew [Muammar] Gaddafi and began focusing on stabilizing Libya, [Ambassador Christopher] Stevens ceased to be a useful idiot and became a useless nuisance.” (1) This assessment by Frontpage Magazine’s Daniel Greenfield goes directly to the heart of the left’s fantastic belief that becoming best buddies with Islamic terrorists renders American dhimmis immune from a murderous payoff when their services are...

The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?” The scorpion
says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”
Replies the scorpion: “Its my nature...”
0bama has set Israel up the bomb...
Sept. 11, 2012Netanyahu gets the cold shoulder.
The embassy in Cairo puts out an apology for a movie most of the rioters know nothing about.
Former deputy national security adviser: US response to embassy attack ‘bizarre and unacceptable’
0bama sends a letter to Tehran assuring them that the U.S. will do nothing to help Israel taking that off of the table removing a big worry for them that might have made them think twice. Iran is good to go now with 0bama's blessing.
We don't support Israeli attack, US tells Iran
The "movie" turns out to be a red herring excuse to cover for the rioters.
CNN: Protests against film a ‘diversion. Attack was planned’
Quite a day of unfortunate coincidences. Israel was rebuffed and there were signals being sent to the MB and Iran. 0bama is giving the "go ahead" to the Muslim world to take out Israel.
Obama Admin Transferred 3,000 Detainees to Afghan Gov't Control Day Before 9/11The White House hands Iran's Ahmadinejad a global megaphone
REPORTS: No Live Ammo for Marines

CNN: Protests against film a ‘diversion. Attack was planned’
Egypt intelligence warns (on Sept 4th) of attacks on Israel, US embassies
Congress was warned about Libya last month

U.S. denies premeditation report
"The Obama administration is flatly denying a blaring British newspaper report that the U.S. diplomats in Libya were killed as a result of a “continuing security breach,” and that “credible information” about possible attacks had been ignored. A U.S. official told POLITICO: “There's no intelligence indicating that the attack in Benghazi was premeditated.”"
Is that all incompetence? Or did it take planning to make all that happen?
Cloward & Pliven strategy and community organizing on a global scale?
This isn't just about getting re-elected, that's certainly a side benefit, this is about the big enchilada. No more Israel. The United States of the Muslim Brotherhood in the ME. ie the new Caliphate.
"Useful idiot" notwithstanding, Ambassador Stevens deserved much better at the hands of the savage Muzz.
He probably believed that the people he worked for (cough)Hillbilly(cough) would protect him. Or at least make some credible effort to.
Leftists never realize that they are usually the first to die at the hands of those they helped into power.
yep.. that scene in the first War of the Worlds movie with Gene Barry comes to mind..
a priest walks towards the just landed spaceship waiving a white flag stating, “they just need to know that we mean them no harm”....... he is promplty blasted into smithereens, by the Martian spacehip.
...useful idiot...murdered by Muslim Jihadists he eagerly helped bring to power.
“Useful idiot” notwithstanding, Ambassador Stevens deserved much better at the hands of the savage Muzz.
It’s not a matter of what Stevens might have deserved. The problem is he and the rest of the Regime left continue to put the US and its citizens in extreme danger, looking at Muslims with a Berkeley mindset rather than according to experience and common sense. The defense of a murderous religious cult takes precedence over the well being of the US and the American people!!
I agree with what you said in your post #9 which was not in conflict with what I said; however,in the case of Mr. Stevens, it may have been a sincere naivete that led him to trust that his fairness toward Muslims would be reciprocated. Yes, that contributed to his death, combined with the feckless policies of the Obama regime, but his demise is still deplorable.

It is entirely possible that this American who spent his entire adult life representing the US overseas in one position or another actually knew through his own experience the danger he was facing —— and stayed on anyway.
